Explosives In Road Building One of the newer methods of rood building that is fust winning the In dorseuieiit of the belter versed contrac tor is that of employing dynamite for reducing the heavy work. Grading through hard ground or rock. for Instance, Is tedious and require time and labor. The use of dynamite for blasting; such mnterinl Is a welcome relief. Both rock and hard clay may be loosened in the cut by well placed charges of explosives If holes are drill ed Into the ground a little way up the lunik and loaded. Careful spacing; and loading for electrically fired blasts will result In brluxins; down both classes of material In the best possible manner. 'HP In loostHilutf shale and rock to facilitate hand or steam shovel work dynamite is also very effective, while stumps may be blunted from the rondbed lost as though they were being removed from a field to be cleared and cultivated. Boulders also are easily shattered by suitable loading snd when of hard rock may be crushed Into surfacing stone. The side ditches as well as the long outfall ditches can also be blasted in keeping with the nature of the ground. In fact, there are no limits practically to the many uses and advantages of dynamite for road building when careful and thonglitfnl attention Is giren to the work. Incidentally the planting of shade trees for roadside Improvement Bad attractiveness Is greatly facilitated by the judicious use of a little dynamite. It Is a recognized fact that trees planted In blasted boles grow much more rapidly and progress more favorably V rim llllliid Confirmation at Catholic Church Sunday, November 14, was a marked day in the history of the Owensville Catholic church, when ; ninetyVfour young people ! confirmed bv Arphhkhmi were J.
